DuAxel is a prototype robot designed to explore places where rovers cannot – the sides of craters and near-vertical cliffs. It’s created by tethering a pair of two-wheeled vehicles. One anchors to the ground while the other investigates the slope below. go.nasa.gov/315YEu6

Finally able to show what I did in the last few months! I worked with Jonathan (of @Robotic_ESP ), Marlin Strub and Marc Toussaint on a multiquery planner called EIRM*. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2205.08480 Web/Code: robotic-esp.com/code/eirmstar/

What an incredible full day and first of many helping the field test of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS)

Yesterday versus today. It might be a tough go for the NASA JPL EELS team field test today. But this team is resilient and has shown great ingenuity. #Space #Enceladus #Analog #glaciers

Adding a few photos with Morgan Cable , Marlin Strub , and the #EELS robot!

Working alongside some brilliant people developing a giant snake robot to potentially explore for life on Ocean worlds is not something I had on the bingo card of my life. #EELS #Exploration Morgan Cable Marlin Strub
